Answer:

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of an infinite geometric series is given by the formula ...

S = a/(1 -r)

where 'a' is the first term, and r is the common ratio.

<h3>Application</h3>

Here, the first term is 1/12, and the common ratio is ...

(1/18)/(1/12) = 12/18 = 2/3

Then the sum is ...

S = (1/12)/(1 -2/3) = (1/12)/(1/3) = 3/12 = 1/4

The sum of the infinite series is 1/4.

If 1 cm represents 30 km on a map and colorado is shown by a 20cm by 15 cm rectangle on the map, what is the approximate actual

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

20*30km = 600km

15*30km = 450km

600km * 450km = 270000 km^2

Step-by-step explanation:

assuming 1cm --- 30km causes that 2cm --- 60km, 3cm --- 90km, 4cm --- 120km etc. Notice that number of km's is 30 times greater than the number of cm's on a map

using this logic, you calculate both real dimensions of Colorado by multiplying 20*30 = 600 km and 15*30 = 450km

Then we use a formula of an area of a rectangle $A=a\cdot b$ assuming $a=600km, \ b=450km$ and get $A=600\cdot 450=270000km^2$ which is an actual area of Colorado

Answer:

$\displaystyle f'(x) = \frac{4}{x^2}$

General Formulas and Concepts:

Calculus

Limits

Limit Rule [Variable Direct Substitution]: $\displaystyle \lim_{x \to c} x = c$

Differentiation

Derivatives
Derivative Notation

The definition of a derivative is the slope of the tangent line: $\displaystyle f'(x) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(x + h) - f(x)}{h}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify.

$\displaystyle f(x) = -\frac{4}{x}$

Step 2: Differentiate

[Function] Substitute in x: $\displaystyle f(x + h) = -\frac{4}{x + h}$
Substitute in functions [Definition of a Derivative]: $\displaystyle f'(x) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{-\frac{4}{x + h} - \big( -\frac{4}{x} \big)}{h}$
Simplify: $\displaystyle f'(x) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{4}{x(x+ h)}$
Evaluate limit [Limit Rule - Variable Direct Substitution]: $\displaystyle f'(x) = \frac{4}{x(x+ 0)}$
Simplify: $\displaystyle f'(x) = \frac{4}{x^2}$
